Another day, another Pixel 10 rumor roundup

Google Pixel 10 leaks feeding the anticipation of us tech enthusiasts, and oh boy, are we eating good right now. The most recent round of leaks paints a vivid picture of what to expect with Google’s next flagship phone series.

Following the Pixel 9 will certainly be tough, but something tell us, Google has the secret sauce.

Given that the Google Pixel 9 Pro won the 2025 Global Mobile (Glomo) “Phone of the Year” award at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, the Pixel 10 will surely be nothing short of impressive. If we’re to believe there is truth in the whispers we’re hearing, the Google Pixel 10 is shaping up to be one of the best smartphones of 2025.

As Android Headlines reports, the official launch of the new Pixel 10 series is just around the corner, as Google is expected to unveil it in August. As we count down the days to the next Made by Google event, here are ten things we know about the Pixel 10, including specs, price, design, and where to buy it.

Pixel 10 rumor rundown from 1-10

1. Familiar, Refined Design

Google isn’t straying far from the Pixel 9’s aesthetics. The Pixel 10 will look identical, with the same flat aluminum side rails, chamfered edges, and a glass back. Leaked renders show a new, muted pink colorway, alongside the usual darker options. Expect a slightly larger camera bump and tweaked dimensions, meaning Pixel 9 cases won’t fit.

2. Bright, Smooth Display

• Display-wise, the Pixel 10 will feature a 6.3-inch FHD+ OLED touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR support, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The phone’s peak brightness is expected to reach at least 2,700 nits, making it one of the brightest screens on the market.

3. Processor: The debut of the Google Tensor G5

• Soon to debut in next-gen Pixel phones, Google’s new Tensor G5 processor is built by the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). It’s the same factory that manufactures the chips for iPhones and marks a shift from Samsung Foundry. The new Tensor G5 promises to bring better performance and overall efficiency to the Pixel flagship. Also, the custom image signal processor is said to improve photography, for chef’s kiss-worthy images.

4. Memory and Storage: No surprises here

• The base model Pixel 10 will be carry 12GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage to start. Larger storage options will be reserved for the higher tier Pixel Pro 10 and Pixel 10 Pro XL variants. Don’t expect the new Pixel phone to have a microSD slot. If you require more storage you’ll either have to spend more, use cloud storage, or invest in a flash drive

5. Camera: Triple shooter with Telephoto

• For the first time, the base Pixel will feature a triple camera setup: a 48MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 10.8MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. This is a big leap for the standard Pixel, though the main sensor is technically a lower resolution than last year’s 50MP.

6. Battery: Bigger and more efficient

• The Pixel 10 is said to run on a 4,970mAh battery. This is a slight bump from the Pixel 9’s 4,700mAh, which translates into better battery life. Even more so if you factor in the more efficient Tensor G5 chip expected to power the phone.

7. Software: Android 16 fresh out of the gate

• Factory fresh. The Pixel 10 will launch with Android 16. Right out of the box, you’ll have the latest features and security updates. Another perk of having a Pixel phone is that you get early access to future software upgrades during the Beta phase.

8. Price: Holding Steady

• Pricing is expected to start around $799 for the base model, keeping it competitive with other flagship phones. Pro and XL models will be priced higher, with more RAM and storage.

9. Where to Buy

• You’ll be able to purchase the Pixel 10 directly from the Google Store, as well as major carriers and electronics retailers. Pre-orders are expected to open immediately after the August launch event.

10. August 2025 Launch Looks Certain

• All signs point to an official unveiling in August 2025. This fits Google’s recent pattern of late-summer launches, and leaks have only intensified as the date approaches.

Leaked images and spec sheets have confirmed much of this information, showing the new color options, the tweaked camera bar, and the upgraded internals. While the Pixel 10 isn’t a major overhaul, it’s a meaningful upgrade. Especially for anyone who wants a telephoto lens without paying Pro prices.

All things considered, if you plan to upgrade your phone this year, the Pixel 10 should be on your consideration list.
